Water - I've seen the light!

My tap water is terrible and I switched to drinking distilled water a longtime ago, making tea with it, too. I know everybody says it makes tea tasteflat, but it's been tasting fresh and crisp to me.While in LA this past spring, where the water is even worse, I got tired oflooking for water and paying deposits for the containers. I switched torefilling my gallon jugs from a 25-cent RO machine. After a while of doingthat, I got tired of lugging the jugs downstairs and up again and bought aBrita filtering pitcher.About two weeks ago, I went back to distilled water out of curiosity. I'msupposed to change my filter, soon, and I wanted to see if I could tell thedifference with tea made with distilled water and water made from the oldfilter and new filter. Distilled water stills gives me that fresh, crispsensation and on a whim, I bought a bottle of spring water.Wow, what a difference! Yes, distilled water gives a distinctly flatsensation to my tea while spring water gives a very nice, soft, roundedfeeling.Unfortunately, my next bottle of spring water came from a different storeand the spring is in a different state. The difference isn't as remarkableand I don't like it as much. It might be because the water wasn't processedthe same.So, now I get to be a connoisseur of spring waters as well as of teas andbrewing methods to get the most from the experience.
